Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 107, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When trying to start my vehicle, the security light comes on and the vehicle will not start for 10 minutes. This occurs on a weekly basis and occurs in many locations. Some of the locations include very rural areas with no phone signal, during high temperature days when a child is present in the vehicle. Ten minutes is a long time to sit with no cooling available and no ability to contact anyone. This occurs with no warning and no certain weather. Gmc is aware of the passcode/passkey failures but has refused to recall such malfunctions, even though it affects thousands of vehicles.
